Yay predictions!

Armored Core V - (PS3) 279k / (X360) 21k
RE: Revelations - 166k
ToI R - 47k

I predict:

Armored Core V PS3 - 235k
Resident Evil Revelations - 155k
Tales of Innocence R - 55k
Armored Core V X360 - 25k

It seems crazy because this IP has never been as big. According to famitsu FW / LTD

[PS1] Armored Core (From Software) - 59.181 / 142.81 
[PS2] Armored Core 2 (From Software) - 122.190 / 205.103 
[PS2] Armored Core 3 (From Software) - 126.278 / 224.964 
[PS3] Armored Core 4 (From Software) - 36.446 / 83.849 
[360] Armored Core 4 (From Software) - 12.673 / 21.096 

Also I think that this type of game is like Gundam. They have a lot of preorders in COMG but then in sales... not as high.

Using ExtremeBrawler's comparation, The Marcenaries had 53pt its last day, and then debuted at 59k. That's why I expect more or less 1pt=1k for RE:Rev. And for Armored Core, the last entry did 109pt and debuted at 54k... this is the half of pt. If AC 5 has 337pt / 2 = ~170k. That's the way I think.

Also, you're not crazy about One Piece at 450k. I agree with you in that bet. :D

I wonder how much Binary Domain can do. I feel like anything below 150k FW would be somewhat of a disappointment considering it's made by the Yakuza team. It's a new IP so we can't expect Yakuza-like numbers but if the game is great it could have better legs. You can tell the game is aimed at a western audience so perhaps that will turn off a lot of potential buyers. The game should do much better than the Yakuza series in EU and NA since it's multiplatform and it shares more ressemblance with what's hot on the HD consoles right now.

Also KH3D! It still has over 2 months of pre-orders so I'm assuming it's doing good. But I really wish SE would stop making all these spin-offs and focus on HK3. They're really killing the franchise by spliting the games on so many platforms. I already couldn't understand the story in KH2.

Is there a release date for KH3D? The last new I read about it pointed at March.

release date for KH3d is March 29th

Looks like Binary Domain will have a decent opening, maybe 90k+

What's to wish?

Go for it. Japanese is not as difficult as everybody seems to believe.

These days even self-learners can accumulate impressive skills.
